There is a sentence that comes up in almost every initial conversation. Sometimes directly, sometimes in passing, sometimes a little apologetically. It does not need to be anything complicated. Just a simple website. I understand this sentence better today than I did ten years ago. It rarely expresses a wish for simplicity in a craftsmanship … Read more
There are decisions on the web that look technical on the surface but are really about something far more fundamental. Your own domain is one of them. I see it regularly: someone builds a presence online, invests time, energy, sometimes money – but the actual anchor point is missing. Everything runs through platforms. Instagram, LinkedIn, … Read more
There are moments when you sense that something is fundamentally shifting – not loudly, not with some grand announcement, but gradually, until one day you realise that the web you once knew has become something else entirely. I’ve worked in the web for over ten years, with WordPress, with open source, with projects focused on … Read more
When I look at WordPress 7.0, it’s particularly exciting for me because it shows a development that I think is fundamentally good. In recent years, the Block Editor has undoubtedly been a major focus for WordPress. This has been very evident in many releases. At the same time, I think it would be too easy … Read more
When I look back on CloudFest 2026, it is the Hackathon that stays with me most. CloudFest as a whole is a great event with many good conversations, inspiring people, and a very special atmosphere. But for me, the Hackathon is the real reason why I always enjoy coming back. This year was my third … Read more

For a few weeks now, I’ve been working with colleagues to make our WordPress development more professional. Not just simple staging, which is a good basis in itself and should normally be part of the basic equipment. But really with Git, pipelines, Bedrock, DDEV, scripts, WP CLI and co. Today we went through it completely. … Read more
A year of growth.A year in which I fulfilled a long-cherished professional dream.A year with many realisations. And with more questions than I had expected. 2025 was my last year in my thirties. I’m turning 40 this year and I realise how this number does something to me. Not loudly, not in a panic, but … Read more
I really had zero expectations. I actually didn’t even want to go. The AI Barcamp and the Fuckup Night in Jena were in my diary, but more along the lines of: let’s see if I can pull myself together. In the end, it turned out to be one of the best events of the year. … Read more
The first bilingual WordCamp, and also my first in Poland, is now over. And what can I say, the long journey was really worth it! It was a successful three-day event with workshops and lots of talks. The concept was a little different than usual. Day 1 was full of workshops, but there was also … Read more
